Several WWE Raw Stars Drawing HUGE Backstage Praise
These Raw wrestlers have come in for immense backstage praise in WWE lately.
A host of Raw wrestlers - some likelier than others - have come in for considerable backstage praise in WWE lately.
Damian Priest, who wrestled Bad Bunny at Backlash 2023, is "now seen as one of the top-level players in the company going forward." This is per PWInsider, who report that The Judgment Day man could be set for big things in the promotion after helping Bunny through an acclaimed outing in the rapper's first ever singles match.
Priest competed in the first round of WWE's World Heavyweight Championship tournament on Raw last night, dropping an opening Triple Threat to Seth Rollins, who pinned Shinsuke Nakamura in the contest.
PWInsider reports too that Omos' Backlash match with Rollins has drawn praise for the giant. WWE is said to be very satisfied with the bout, which many within the promotion believe was amongst the best matches Omos has had. The MVP-managed colossus took the loss to Seth at Backlash.
Finally, completing the circle of backstage praise are Maximum Male Models. WRKD Wrestling reports that despite their in-ring activity on television, ma.çé and mån.sôör are getting positive responses at live events. It is hoped that this will result in their character work picking up steam with crowds.
